Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone has revealed that the motor-racing sport is likely to be sold off before the start of the 2016 race season.
The 85-year-old, who runs F1 management, said that current owners CVC would make up their mind in the next few months on whether they are selling the sport, Sport24 reported.
